John Constantine is my favorite character in the DC Universe and in Comics in genera, and this week we'll be looking into his origins.  John Constantine was created by writer  Alan Moore and artists Steve Bissette and John Totleben and first appeared in The Saga of the Swamp Thing issue 37 back in 1985. The story goes that Bissette and Totleben were huge fans of The Police and really wanted to draw a character that resembled Sting. So Alan Moore obliged them and created the character of John Constantine, the quintessential anti-hero, mage, con-man change smoker that will always do what’s right...as long as it suits his purpose.
